MRT North East Buangkok Station Opened
Sunday, 15th January 2006
At the time the MRT North East line (NEL) was opened in 2003, all of the stations were operating except Buangkok and Woodleigh. The Buangkok Station NE15 was already fully built but the Singapore Government claimed that the projected number of passengers was too low to cover operating costs. Constant public pressure, notably the "White Elephant" incident and subsequent media attention, forced the Government to review the situation.
